So sorry to hear this dave Sent from my ELS-NX9 using Tapatalk

My condolences for your loss dakski. Hopefully even in death, Cleo can help scientists learn more about her kind and potentially help her kin in the...

So sorry to hear this, dakski. My deepest condolences. See you over the rainbow bridge, Cleo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know, sorry for your loss...:grouphug:

Thank you Bogertophis. I will let everyone know what the results show. I appreciate your empathy, kind words, and validation. I know I did the...

Aw, so sorry, rest in peace, pretty little Cleo. I wouldn't have put her through chemo or surgery either- the other issues make sense, in light of...

As long as he eats, I wouldn't care how he does it. 7G is way too small. At 175G, he should be eating at least a small mouse (12-17G). You...

I had to euthanize Cleo today. I will miss her tremendously. Here is a link as to why and the post I made in the "Rainbow Bridge" section of the...

He sounds like he came thru life in the store unusually well- pet stores are generally stressful places, & also have many risks for the transmission...

Thanks for the feedback! Im glad to hear that I'm not overdoing it, he is a great eater so I feel better in that regard. I have had him for a bit...

My own BP had a moment recently where he struck, missed completely yet somehow got a single coil around the rat and he started eating seconds later....

Funny I was going to post a nearly identical thread. I have the same setup, 20L w UTH and thermostat. I have to turn the thermostat to 100* in...

thank you all so much i have been stressing for literal days trying to figure it out. you are all fantastic! i’ll be getting that tank ready soon...

You're correct that a thick layer of substrate will act as "insulation" that prevents (!) the heat from rising into your enclosure, so keep the...

Sold!!!

Using an infrared gun, from inside the tank, take the temperature of the glass above the UTH. As long as it doesn’t get above 90, you should be ok.

i bit the bullet and bought myself a CHE. all the advice on youtube and even reptile shops mention just the UTH so until today i had no idea i needed...

I can take a hint-;) This is the "sticky" but it was started about 8 years ago, so the initial pics have gone away. :(...

An undertank heater is not meant to raise ambient temps, it will only create a hot spot for belly heat and 90 is a high as you want to go with it. ...

My rescue that was quite underweight gained what he needed and looks great on a very regular schedule, I offered mice for the first three feedings...

We'll enjoy "waiting with you". :) :snake:

thank you!! I'm so impatient :D the next two months will pass so slowly, I'm sure. Next year I am planning on pairing my boy Bento (banana ghost...

Okay, awesome thank you! I'm definitely going to be so cautious, no turning, just a quick move to the incubator and then daily monitoring. I'm so...

I'm not in the habit of weighing prey & all, so I can't speak to that, but it's just fine when a snake eats without striking- some get used to f/t...

Welcome Waffles...:D That's a good sign that he ate an adult mouse on day one. Personally, I'd try feeding one adult mouse (not 2) every 7-10...

Just saw this- I deleted the other (unanswered) thread since this one has responses. Also- Feeding 2 mice every 5 days* sounds like you'll be...
